Data entry

Enter data for each study in its own format. For
example, enter data for one study as number of events and sample
size, for another study as odds ratio and confidence interval, and
so on.

Include multiple study designs in the same
analysis. Enter
data from studies that used independent groups, paired/matched designs,
or crossover trials. The program will compute the standard errors
for each, and allow you to merge the different designs in the same
analysis.

Include data from prospective and retrospective
trials in the same analysis.

Mix and match continuous, binary, and correlational
data within the same analysis. The program will convert among
odds ratios, standardized mean differences, and correlations.

“CMA 2.0 is perhaps the most user-friendly statistical software I have used to date. It makes the complicated process of conducting a meta-analysis much easier. It can be used from start to finish - from direct data entry to publication-quality graphics. I highly recommend this program!”

“I found the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software program to be extremely user friendly, providing instant computational data from the simplest to the most complex statistical problems, a versatile database to help organize and restructure large volumes of multifaceted data, and parallel visuals that help better understand your data. I also found the support staff very helpful in providing responses to both my technical questions about the program itself as well as help address more general theoretical questions about meta-analyses. I would highly recommend this program to a novice or more seasoned researcher interested in conducting meta-analytic statistics.”
